Grassroots Sports Funding Boost

The Office of Sport Recreation and Racing in Collaboration with the SACA and the SANFL will provide $6 million, while another $9 million will be chipped in by local councils, sports clubs, the Federal Liberal Government and other agencies.

“The funding will be used for many different upgrades including building family-friendly facilities so everyone from the family can be active and upgrading lighting to allow more sports to be played more often.
